“The addition of Monster Energy to Baldwin Motorsports is the optimal way to start off the 2011 race season with a bang,” said BJ Baldwin. “Monster Energy’s commitment to the off-road motorsports community is unprecedented; the addition of the leader in energy drink sales will certainly elevate our off-road program for this race season and beyond. Baldwin Motorsports is committed to making 2011 an eventful year. We are proud to have Monster Energy on board and look forward to sharing our unbridled enthusiasm for the brand with the legions of fans who follow off-road racing and the Baldwin Motorsports program.”

In 2011, BJ and Bobby Baldwin will compete in the Best in the Desert series; the SCORE-International series, including the Baja 500 and 1000 and the SNORE Mint 400.
